Ruger 10/22 Takedown in Chicago


newshooter

Recommended Posts

So, I'm looking to add the venerable Ruger 10/22 Takedown to my collection, and wondering if anyone can speak on the Chicago AWB in relationship to the different models. My questions are:

 

1) Do I have to get the non-threaded barrel model to avoid having a second "feature" as defined in the Chicago AWB for mag-fed semi-auto rifles?

 

2) I am most interested in the model with the factory installed Magpul backpacker stock, all which come with a threaded barrel. Am I still in compliance with the Chicago AWB if I keep the barrel in its detached state until I move outside the city limits? I know I could always get the non threaded model and add the Magpul stock later, just trying to save some money (and I prefer the shorter barrel).

 

Thanks in advance!

I'm going to play it safe and have my FFL order the non-threaded model. That model also comes with the carrying bag where the magpul version doesn't, so it mostly balances out when I buy the aftermarket furniture. It'll end up being a little more than if I went with the magpul version, but at least I can have some peace of mind.

A 22 with a bunch of stuff tacked on is still a 22 :D (let's not even start about how any 22 could be considered an assault weapon...)

 

I'll still be throwing the Magpul x-22 stock on it, though. That thing is crazy cool. Also doing the Nikon Tactical Rimfire scope on raised scope rings (so iron sights still work) with a scope rail to add a micro red dot. That way I have all the use cases covered if the world ends and my 22 has to feed me.

The threads make it an assault weapon?

According to Chicago's idiotic AWB, yes.

 

2. A semiautomatic rifle that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has one or more of the following:

a. a folding or telescoping stock;

b. a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon;

c. a bayonet mount;

d. a flash suppressor or barrel having a threaded muzzle; or

e. a grenade launcher.

 

Thats for all the rifle, or rifle 'types' not expressly listed (like AR, AK varients, Mini-14 by name, etc.)

I'm going to play it safe and have my FFL order the non-threaded model. That model also comes with the carrying bag where the magpul version doesn't, so it mostly balances out when I buy the aftermarket furniture. It'll end up being a little more than if I went with the magpul version, but at least I can have some peace of mind.

 

The threads make it an assault weapon?

According to Chicago's idiotic AWB, yes.

 

2. A semiautomatic rifle that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has one or more of the following:

a. a folding or telescoping stock;

b. a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon;

c. a bayonet mount;

d. a flash suppressor or barrel having a threaded muzzle; or

e. a grenade launcher.

 

Thats for all the rifle, or rifle 'types' not expressly listed (like AR, AK varients, Mini-14 by name, etc.)

Pretty much. Though, strangely if you go to the other end of the spectrum and get a bolt or lever action, you can stick anything you want on the rifle since they don't call out anything there.

They're safe for now because not suitable for self defense.
